And here’s Ivanovich
in his rocket ship
Spinning helplessly
up above the earth
And while his heart is splintered
All the girls of winter
are buried in their coats, anonymous
While winter girls are waiting
Ivanovich in high rotation
Is just another star
up in the sky
And while the world was waiting
We’re overwhelmed by some sensation
of something long ago and far away

We must have a religion—it goes without saying—but my idea is, to have it cut up into forty free sects, so that they will police each other, as had been the case in the United States in my time. Concentration of power in a political machine is bad; and and an Established Church is [...]

Steven den Beste puts it best, I think:
In 1974 he was the man this country needed, and was where we needed him most. I respected him, and I liked him, and I voted for him in 1976. I still think this country would have been better off if he’d won instead of Carter.
He wasn’t a [...]

Man, modern man, especially modern western white man, has no respect for nature, the environment, the ecosystem, Mother Earth, Gaea. What he should do is to look to the past, when humanity was uncorrupted by civilization and lived at one with nature, in total harmony with the ecological balance.
Right?

As they walked to the elevator, Elliot told Lorimer that he was still free. “What about you?”
“I don’t have anything until an appointment on Monday.”
“Any suggestions?”
“Well, how about a swim?”
“I don’t have a suit,” said Elliot.
“Neither do I,” said Lorimer unblushingly.
Elliot did blush.
“Or,” she continued, “we can try out some of that grass.”
“Uh—I’d better keep [...]

Even the young communists think like old men, living in a glorious past that has long since passed. This is why they still want to talk about McCarthy, Nixon, Vietnam, “the 1960s,” the minimum wage, the draft, the United Nations…

I feel I should be happy that a matter this trivial has consumed the news. Then I slip back into being unhappy that a matter this trivial has consumed the news. Then I had some sake and everything was okay.

By noon the next day he had rented the largest hall on the waterfront and sent word to the newspapers that arrangements for a Christmas party for bums to end all Christmas parties for bums were under way. His plan for it was extremely simple. The first obligation of hospitality, he announced somewhat prissily, was [...]
